Cell leaders were prioritized during the test since they are the first to know what is happening inside each of the cells and will most likely protect their groups in case they are using or pushing drugs.

The activity is in line with a program of President Rodrigo Duterte to have a drug-free jail facility.

“It is a continuous program hende lang este ara kabaw ya. Continuous este program in all jails nationwide. Pero no sabe kita cuando it could be on personnel, inmates o todo,” Catubig said.

A similar activity will also be held in 20 jails all over region 9. (RGAAGo)
